A New Twist on an Old Rhythm

Through most of my young life waltz , square dancing and rock'n'roll dominated dance . Throw in a cha cha and a tango and that covered it.

Then in the early sixties , my pre-teen and new teen years a new twist to the old rhythms  exploded into school yards , school dances and living rooms . It was danced at legion halls , home parties and weddings all over...by everyone...young and old. It was simple , did not require a lot of skill or style. It was the first dance that closed the generation gap for a little while.
